Starting in October, Syfy will begin airing WWE's Friday Night Smackdown in place of long-running Friday night drama series, such as Stargate Universe and Sanctuary. According to the Hollywood Reporter, "there's nothing more sci-fi than ... competitive wrestling."

We believe that this marks the beginning of the end for the troubled network, which rebranded itself as "SyFy" last year. By distancing itself from its science fiction roots, it seems to have lost its identity.
